\u00a0Karachi Police use tear gas and batons as Jamaat-e-Islami march heads toward Sindh Assembly<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nHe added that peaceful citizens were subjected to injustice and censured the administration for arresting several JI workers and firing teargas shells during the demonstration. He called on the provincial authorities to explain why Karachi had been turned into what he termed a “no-go area”. Later, the JI leader announced plans to hold sit-ins at 10 locations across Karachi tomorrow and instructed party workers to disperse for now. Earlier,\u00a0Police in Sindh capital used tear gas and batons to disperse a protest march organised by Jamaat-e-Islami after negotiations between officials and party representatives failed, according to reports. The confrontation took place in Karachi when party workers began moving towards the Sindh Assembly following unsuccessful initial talks with police authorities. Protesters continued their advance after discussions produced no agreement, prompting police to launch a crackdown aimed at stopping the march from reaching the assembly premises. Police units carried out baton charges and fired tear gas shells as marchers pushed forward. Authorities had already implemented a security plan ahead of the rally, placing police mobiles and buses across key roads to block access routes. Special barricades were erected on Court Road and Numaish Road to halt the procession and restrict movement toward the assembly zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
